Hilltop Inn

It was evident that the Hilltop Inn is a leader in hospitality. The grace, warmth, and service extended to us by the innkeeper, Liz, went beyond our expectations. Each guest receives undivided attention; personalized recommendations for touring and restaurants; and exceptional accommodations when staying at the centrally located Hilltop Inn in Newport, Rhode Island. Hilltop boasts beautifully maintained architectural details that add to its historic charm. Modern day amenities compliment each room. We certainly appreciated the massive bathroom with a walk-in shower and whirlpool bathtub; gas lit fireplaces; king-sized bed; and balcony. Plus, the room and inn were SPOTLESS and ON-SITE PARKING was available (a must in Newport). When choosing a B&B there are always certain expectations for accommodations (i.e. quiet respites; the anticipation of meeting new people; appetizing breakfast). Hilltop acknowledges each guest's preferences by offering several common areas that include a sunlit spot with tables; a seating area with a cozy fireplace, and a smaller room for reading, chatting, or playing board games. Coffee, tea, and snacks are available throughout the day. Breakfast was homemade and delicious. We highly recommend the Hilltop and are thankful for the unforgettable memories we made. Their kindness was extraordinary.

What a wonderful place to stay. A hidden gem across from Hotel Viking. Peaceful and quiet. Host was wonderful and accommodating. By far the absolute best bathroom I've ever had staying anywhere. Jacuzzi tub was enormous, and the bed/pillows were so comfortable. Inn is immaculate.

We enjoy the Hilltop for a couple of evenings during the off season when Newport is relatively quiet and navigable. The Hilltop staff is always a source of good ideas for restaurants, activities, places to shop: "Where can I get an authentic Irish sweater?" The accomodations are comfortable, with a fabulous shower: a step-in to rain shower, body sprays, and hand-held shower, with a marble bench. We don't even need the jacuzzi that is also in the bathroom. The location is a short walk from shops on Spring Street and Thames Street as well as Bellevue Avenue. The room itself is comfortable, too, with gas fireplace and king-sized bed . Breakfast is superb, different each morning: Belgian waffles one day, quiche another. A fruit dish is always available on the side board, along with snacks and sweets, and during the day, you can always make yourself a cup of coffee or tea in the breakfast room. We make our stay at the Hilltop a yearly tradition.
